Resumo: The COVID-19 pandemic required extreme sanitary measures to contain virus transmission, such as the lockdown adopted in many countries during outbreak periods. Such restrictive measures have fully changed human lives across the planet, affecting the environment and the global economy. In this study, we carried out a systematic literature review to analyze the pandemic environmental and economic impacts. Our results show that the lockdowns had a positive effect on the environment, especially through air quality improvements due to the reduction of pollutant gas emissions from industries and vehicles. These environmental changes affected the economy and the population’s health, leading us to think about the effects of our activities on the planet and the possible strategies to halt environmental degradation while preserving the economy, thus fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) included in the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.

Tais medidas restritivas modificaram totalmente a vida das pessoas em todo o planeta, afetando o meio ambiente e a economia global. Nesse trabalho, realizamos uma revisão sistemática da literatura com o objetivo de mapear os impactos ambientais e econômicos da pandemia. Nossos resultados mostram que o isolamento social teve um efeito positivo sobre o meio ambiente, principalmente no que se refere à melhoria da qualidade do ar com a redução das emissões de gases poluentes pelas indústrias e veículos. As mudanças ambientais observadas se refletiram na economia e na saúde da população, trazendo importantes reflexões sobre os efeitos das nossas atividades sobre o planeta e as estratégias possíveis de combate à degradação ambiental, mas preservando a economia visando o cumprimento dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) constantes da Agenda 2030.Editora Universitária Champagnat - PUCPRess2023-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/direitoeconomico/article/view/2950710.7213/revdireconsoc.v14i2.29507Revista de Direito Econômico e Socioambiental; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2023): May/August; e247Revista de Direito Econômico e Socioambiental; Vol. 14 Núm. 2 (2023): mayo/agosto; e247Revista de Direito Econômico e Socioambiental; v. 14 n. 2 (2023): maio/agosto; e2472179-82142179-345X10.7213/rev.dir.econ.soc.v14i2reponame:Revista de Direito Econômico e Socioambientalinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRporhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/direitoeconomico/article/view/29507/26489Copyright (c) 2023 Mariana Guenther, Rita de Cássia Neves Leitehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLeite, Rita de Cássia NevesGuenther, Mariana2024-02-03T17:24:36Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/29507Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/direitoeconomicoONGhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/direitoeconomico/oai||nicolasadd@outlook.com|| revista.direito@pucpr.br2179-82142179-345Xopendoar:2024-02-03T17:24:36Revista de Direito Econômico e Socioambiental - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false
